Admission

ADMISSION OVERVIEW

Rochester Classical Academy opened in fall 2019 with PreK through 1st grades. In each successive year, the school will add one grade (2nd grade in 2020, 3rd grade in 2021, etc.). Follow the process outlined below to apply for admission to RCA.

1. Attend a Rochester Classical Academy Open House

2. Submit Application Materials for Admission

The admission application should take less than an hour but will require several considered answers. The birthday deadline for entrance into the respective grades is September 1st (Kindergarteners must be 5, 1st graders must be 6, 2nd graders must be 7). See application checklist below for all applicable materials.

3. Submit Application Materials for Financial Aid (if applicable)

Families interested in applying for tuition assistance should do so at the same time they apply for admission. Families that do not desire tuition assistance can skip to step 3.

The application for tuition assistance should take about an hour and will require parents to submit several different pieces of financial information. Each page of the application can be saved separately.

5. Admission Decision

Parents will receive a decision within five weeks after the interview and evaluation. Accepted students have one month after the acceptance notification to enroll by submitting a signed parent contract and $300 nonrefundable deposit which will be subtracted from the family’s annual tuition contribution. Only after submitting these two items is a student’s spot reserved.
